00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:10.540
We have a new block that's called the if/else
block. It's a conditional statement just like

00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:15.719
the if block you've used in the puzzles before.
But now there's a new part at the bottom that

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:22.960
says else. The if/else block lets the bee
make a decision between two sets of actions.

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.619
If the bee is at a flower, the bee will do
the set of actions you put in the first part

00:00:27.619 --> 00:00:33.870
where it says do. If the bee is not at a flower,
the bee will do the set of actions you put

00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:41.910
in the slot where it says else. If statements
are how computers are able to make decisions.

00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:46.809
Humans set up conditions for the computer
that say if the computer is presented with

00:00:46.809 --> 00:00:55.420
a certain situation do this. Else, which just
means otherwise, do that. The top of our if/else

00:00:55.420 --> 00:01:01.620
block says if at flower. But the top of our
block could say other things, like if nectar

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:08.480
equals 2 or if there's a path ahead, our block
will behave in the same way. That if the statement

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.450
at the top is true it will do the first set
of actions. But if the statement at the top

00:01:13.450 --> 00:01:16.429
is false, it will do the second set of actions.
